The following have been ported to Mac OS X:

GNAT-5.0w (FSF source tree, includes tasking using GNU pth)
gdb-5.1 (Mac gdb-208 w/Ada modifications)
GtkAda-1.2.12 (all demos from testgtk working)
gvd-1.2.4 (buggy)

To find GNAT and gdb go to the following link:

http://adapower.net/macos

There is a binary distribution and patches for GNAT and gdb. Patches and a
binary distribution for GtkAda and gvd are being assembled and should be on
the site by Friday.
